Forest Heights Expungement Event

There will be attorneys trained in Maryland expungement law who will look at your criminal cases to determine whether any qualify for expungement or sealing. Several new laws have taken effect this year allowing cases to be expunged that were previously not eligible for expungement. Included among the new laws is the ability to shield from public view certain non-violent minor crimes. The attorneys will advise whether criminal cases qualify for expungement or sealing, and help complete the necessary paperwork free of charge. Please understand that not all cases qualify for expungement or sealing, but having a conviction in one case does not preclude expunging a different case. If you believe your Maryland case might qualify for expungement or sealing, it is worth discussing with an attorney.

NOTE: Attorneys will provide legal advice and assist with completion of the paperwork free of charge. They will bring all of the necessary forms, but it will be the responsibility of the attendee to file the paperwork at the appropriate courthouse. There is a filing fee of $35 per case, but there is also a waiver of cost form for indigent persons (unable to pay).
